pros.
A computerized and minimally mechanized space probe would have only a small fraction of the needs and equipment of a human housing space ship. This would save on mass and therefore fuel.
A mechanized probe has a lot less functioning parts therefore there is less that can go wrong with it.
A mechanized space probe could survive the years that it take to get to its destination. Humans tend to get bored and psychotic.
